Church’s positions are clear

Regarding John Allen’s “More than a Swing Vote” article in Aug. 9 issue: When faced with the absolute evil of the Democrats’ stance on abortion and transgenderism, emphasizing the Church’s “neither left nor right” political position is unhelpful and misleading. 

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has made clear that abortion is the greatest social evil and that the Church needs to be unified in condemning the party and politicians who are blatantly pro-abortion. We can argue about effective environmental policies later.
